Daily Dose


From The House of Mirth, by Edith Wharton

HE WOULD NOT

"He would not, in other words, yield to the growth of an affection which might appeal to pity yet leave the understanding untouched: sympathy should no more delude him than a trick of the eyes, the grace of helplessness than a curve of the cheek."

From Book I, Chapter XIV
